Come to Pat & Chuck's Auto Repair in Des Plaines to get high-performance brakes that stop with authority every time regardless of road conditions. We have organic, ceramic, and metallic replacement brake pads with applications ranging from daily driving to track racing to off-roading. Talk with the expert mechanics at Pat & Chuck's Auto Repair to determine which type of brake pad is best for your driving style and application. Upgrade to high-performance rotors, calipers, master cylinders, and brake fluids the next time you have your brakes serviced at Pat & Chuck's Auto Repair in Des Plaines.

Metal Brake Pads: Performance-driven drivers prefer the metallic brake pads because they tolerate a much wider range of temperatures and track conditions. Metal brake pads are excellent conductors of heat making them able to withstand more heat without debonding while also cooling back down rapidly.

Line Locks: Love a good smokey burnout? Let your rear wheels spin aggressively without wasting your rear brake pads. Get your line lock installed by the auto repair experts at Pat & Chuck's Auto Repair in Des Plaines. Allow your front brakes to lock independently of the rear brakes with just the flip of a simple switch.

Brake Booster: Get a master cylinder on steroids by adding a brake booster installed by the expert mechanics at Pat & Chuck's Auto Repair. Reduce the amount of pedal pressure needed for braking with higher hydraulic pressure and lower force applied on the brake pedal.

Drum to Disc Conversion: You love your classic car but let's face it, those old drums make stopping hazardous. For restoration enthusiasts, the mechanics at Pat & Chuck's Auto Repair specialize in 15-inch wheel drum to disc conversion that maintains the original manufacturer aesthetics. Get a complete brake system that includes 11-inch drilled and slotted rotors, single-piston cast calipers, stock or drop spindles, and a master cylinder with brake booster when you do your drum to disc conversion at Pat & Chuck's Auto Repair.

What Our Customers Are Saying

We were in town to vend at a show in the Rosemont Convention Center when our transmission started to have problems. We asked around and ended up at Pat & Chuck's Auto Repair. The guys there are THE BEST! They managed to work on our car on short notice, replace the transmission and even replaced a couple of supports that we weren't aware needed replacing. (They kept the broken parts to show us.) They even checked over the rest of the car to make sure everything was in good running order and that we'd be able to make it home pulling our trailer without any further problems. We fully expected to pay a "Big City" price for the work that they did -- and we were pleasantly surprised when the bill was significantly less than we'd anticipated. There were no surprises, no add-ons and the final expense was just what they'd told us it would be. We'd go back there in a heartbeat and it's a shame that they're so far away from where we live! Chuck and Rod were friendly!

I am always pleased with the work that I have had done at Pat & Chuck's, especially the most recent repair. I had been using another shop for convenience reasons, and had been told I needed my transmission rebuilt or replaced. Pat & Chuck"s could have just went ahead and did just that, but didn't; they diagnosed the correct issue, and fixed it, saving me approximately 1700 dollars.
